And if you where wondering how to mount the PSU secure into the case .. look no further. You can easily remove the front bezel allowing you to access the PSU. You simply pull it forward.

At the left side we can find ta small "front" panel with connectivity for Firewire, sound and two USB ports. The reset button is also located here. It's a good spot for the panel.

The downside of a mini ATX tower is that you'll have to forfeit on devices. Three optical drivers can be inserted which by itself is sufficient and three HD drives (or 3.5" devices) can be inserted. It's more than sufficient for the most of us.

No toolless design here. You mount the gear shut with screws - the old school way. No sharp edges where to be found. Everything is finished properly.

We measured noise coming from the PC by placing a dBa meter roughly 75cm away from the case while the fan is enabled. We measured a below 40 DBa results which is absolutely fantastic. The room we measure in is quiet .. yet even then surround and ambient noises will reproduce ~30 DBa. This case is really quiet despite that large fan. Very notable.
